FOR对16世纪至18世纪宗教内容、实践和目标的中间表现和传播的分析采用了一种新的方法。这种方法的基础是全面合作，包括德语、英语和意大利语/法语文学研究、拉丁语研究、历史音乐学、艺术史、历史、埃塞俄比亚和犹太研究以及新教和天主教神学。在此，FOR将首次建立一个跨学科的研究合作，整合相关的学术学科，以便在精神和宗教话语的背景下分析早期现代中介现象。八个跨学科的子研究小组，在内容和操作层面上密切合作，将调查宗教文物的中间性。因此，这些群体将特别关注人工制品，其中涉及的媒体的融合和互动产生了额外的语义，美学和精神情感价值。要分析的文化文物的范围从神圣的音乐，文字和图像的组合，冥想的理论和实践，渴望内部和外部的图画性（意象），基于神圣主题的戏剧，游行文化，纪念圣人的神秘和纪念实践，以及城市和国家描述的神圣纪念碑和文物的文件。关于方法论和理论框架，FOR将继续研究已确立的跨媒介性和跨媒介性概念。然而，为了捕捉早期现代时期的特定文化背景和精神媒介的特定星座的地貌，这些概念必须从根本上加以区分。这种区分是对早期现代精神中介性的异质表现进行适当的解释学、文献学和神学描述和分析的先决条件。按照这种方法，所有子项目将考虑以下假设：首先，早期现代宗教实践始终嵌入在媒体实践中。其次，精神人工制品的水平中间结构总是与中间性的垂直维度有关，现世和来世的相互作用和联系体现在基督的形象中，这在基督论和救赎论的概念中得到了阐述。计划中的FOR与位于汉堡Universität人文学院的众多联合研究项目相连。根据其研究策略，该学院近年来在早期现代研究的背景下建立了一个核心研究领域。因此，按照国家和国际标准衡量，它为for提供了一个理想的环境，充分利用现有的结构和专业知识，并进一步推动Universität汉堡在该领域的潜力。

The FOR’s analysis of intermedial representations and disseminations of religious contents, practices and aims from the 16th to the 18th century is informed by a new approach. This approach is based on a comprehensive cooperation comprising German, English and Italian/French literary studies, Latin studies, historical musicology, art history, history, Ethiopian and Jewish studies as well as Protestant and Catholic theology. The FOR hereby will establish for the first time a transdisciplinary research cooperation integrating pertinent academic disciplines in order to analyse phenomena of early modern intermediality in the context of spiritual and religious discourse. Eight interdisciplinary sub-research groups, closely collaborating in terms of content as well as on an operative level, will investigate the intermediality of religious artefacts. Thus, these groups will pay particular attention to artefacts in which the fusion and interaction of the media involved generates additional semantic, aesthetic and spiritual-affective value. The cultural artefacts to be analysed range from sacred music, combinations of words and images, the theory and practice of meditation aspiring to internal and external pictoriality (imagery), dramas based on sacred subjects, the culture of processions, mystagogical and memorial practices commemorating the saints, as well as documentations of sacred monuments and artefacts in city and country descriptions.As regards the methodological and theoretical framework, the FOR will follow up on established concepts of inter- and transmediality. However, these concepts will have to be differentiated fundamentally in order to capture the specific cultural context of the early modern period and the physiognomy of the specific constellations of spiritual mediality. This differentiation is prerequisite for a proper hermeneutical, philological and theological description and analysis of the heterogeneous manifestations of early modern spiritual intermediality. Following this approach, all sub-projects will take into account the following assumptions: Firstly, early modern religious practice was always embedded in media practice. Secondly, the horizontal intermedial configurations in spiritual artefacts always relate to a vertical dimension of intermediality, the interplay and connectivity of this world and the world to come embodied in the figure of Christ as explicated in christological and soteriological concepts. The projected FOR connects to numerous joint research projects located in the faculty of humanities at Universität Hamburg. Based on its research strategy, the faculty has managed to establish in recent years a core research field in the context of early modern studies. It thereby provides – as measured by national and international standards – an ideal context for the FOR, making the most of the existing structures and expertise as well as pushing Universität Hamburg’s potential in the field even further.
